Chapter 66 Deception "Without You, I Will Die"

He held her in his arms, a soft, warm beauty in his arms, a hazy, intoxicating dream. He couldn't let go of her, only wishing the night would last longer.

When she woke up the next day, the swelling had disappeared, replaced by a scar. Jiang Li wanted to curse, but it was indeed as Yun Si had said. The bed was in a mess. She put on her clothes and the maid came to clean it up.

Ningxiang glanced at the red mark on Jiang Li's neck, and suddenly her face flushed and she lowered her head: "King... Queen."

Jiang Li asked, "What's wrong?"

"The king said he won't be back for the next two days," Ningxiang reported truthfully. Ke Xin, however, kept thinking about things she shouldn't. "Your Majesty, please read more ancient Miao books in the next two days."

She once said she wanted to learn Miaojiang Gushu. Unexpectedly, Yun Si still had it in mind...

She responded, "I understand."

She had Ningxiang find a lot of books, but she was shocked by what she read. From Gu techniques to planting and raising Gu, there was a whole bunch of complicated procedures.

There was a sentence in it that she remembered very clearly: Only those with Miao blood can practice witchcraft.

She watched it for the whole afternoon, and it was as if she saw many jokes about herself...

The love poison she had confidently placed in Yun Si had only worked once. The rest of the time, Yun Si was just playing along...

What she read in Tu Niang's book was all nonsense.

Or it could be understood that, from beginning to end, it was Yun Si who played games with her...

The book describes hundreds of Gu techniques and their various solutions. [Golden Silkworm Gu], the king of Gu insects, can resolve hundreds of Gu in Miao territory.

High-level witchcraft requires high-level witchcraft worms, so the important thing is not how to use the witchcraft, but how to practice the witchcraft.

Using the corresponding Gu technique would come at a price. For example, when Yun Si controlled insects and snakes to kill people, it cost him some blood. If he wanted to use the more advanced [Puppet Gu], he would have to pay a higher price.

[Longevity Gu] is a lost Gu technique from the Miao borderlands. No one knows how to use it, and no one knows how to make it. [Love Gu] comes in many varieties, each with different effects: some bewitch the mind, controlling the emotions of men and women, while others are physical, and can be detoxified through sexual intercourse.

Jiang Li was stunned when he saw this...

This is the love poison that Yun Si had put on her.

She was about to turn the page when Ningxiang suddenly said, "Queen, it's time!"

Jiang Li was puzzled: "What time do you mean?"

"The king has instructed that we must eat on time. So no matter what the queen is doing, the meal must be served at the appointed time." After Ningxiang finished speaking, the maid immediately came in with the dishes.

In a short while, the books on the table were replaced by dishes.

Jiang Li put the book down and said, "Okay, I'll eat first."

She had lunch and played with Afeng for a while. But just as she squatted down to touch Afeng, she saw a rope around his neck. Hanging on it was a silver ornament with the word "wind" engraved on it.

When Afeng is having fun, the Yunsi on his neck will shake and sway.

Jiang Li smiled and touched Afeng.

So, did he accept Afeng?

She lived a life she never imagined: she married a man, had a dog, and had a child.

Her previous resistance stemmed from fear: she was afraid that after finally relying on someone, that person would turn around and leave.

Now, whenever she stretched out her hand, Afeng's head would come over.

She was also certain that no matter how she refused, Yun Si would not leave.

She had wanted to continue reading, but reading was never as fun as playing. Miaojiang was, after all, new to her. She took Afeng to the market, even staying out for a day before returning home.

She even took a nap before getting up to read.

She yawned, and before she was fully awake, her fingers had already opened the book.

She was not reading a book, but the words on the paper were jumping into her eyes.

There are three ways to break the Miaojiang love poison: first, the woman is pregnant. Second, a man and a woman have sex. Third, the blood of the person who cast the poison can break it.

She looked down and was about to continue looking when she suddenly froze...

Miaojiang love poison?

She suddenly woke up and quickly turned to the previous page.

When the love poison attacks, you need to have sex. It can stimulate passion and incite lust... It attacks every three days.

Her fingertips trembled and she froze.

A woman’s pregnancy can cure love poison.

If you are pregnant, it can be relieved.

Jiang Li placed one hand on his abdomen and closed his eyes to concentrate.

She remembered that Yun Si also said that there was no solution unless she was pregnant.

Yun Si told her that she was four months pregnant. So why was the love poison still effective? It even triggered a reaction the day she told Yun Si she was pregnant.

She thought back to his reaction that day, his chuckle... and recalled the past, his attitude towards the child.

"Sister, remember, you can't like other children."

"Kill him."

"No one can share my sister with me."

"Sister, who told you that? How could you be pregnant..."

"Let's kill him together..."

…

Jiang Li slowly opened her eyes, feeling a surge of energy in her chest. She breathed heavily, gasping for air...

Her back was cold, but beads of sweat had formed, nearly soaking her clothes. There was a whistling sound in her ears, like a strong wind, and only a buzzing sound could be heard.

She touched her hands to her belly, lost in an unknown emotion. Her fingers closed, clutching the clothes in her hands.

She is shaking...

She felt a sharp pain in her chest and had difficulty breathing.

She was still in a state of shock when she heard the faint sound of movement outside the door. Yun Si's voice rang close to her ear again, with a faint smile: "Sister, what are you looking at?"

He approached her from behind as naturally as usual, leaned over and held her in his arms.

Jiang Li closed his eyes, trying to regain some clarity in the chaos.

Yun Si glanced at the book beside her and couldn't help but cheer up: "Sister, you really took my words to heart. So guess what I have to give you?"

He said as he nuzzled his chin against the side of her neck affectionately, his warm breath caressing her skin.

"Yun Si." Jiang Li suddenly opened his eyes.

"Hmm?" He paused, keenly aware of the unusual coldness in her voice.

"Are you...hiding something from me?"

His body stiffened imperceptibly, and then he chuckled softly, "How could that be? What could I possibly hide from my sister?"

Jiang Li took a deep breath, pushed his arm away, and stood up. The chair rolled back with a sharp sound.

Yun Si forced himself to remain calm, still smiling and asking, "What's wrong?"

"As expected of the Miao Border Gu King," she sneered, her voice trembling, "you're playing me like a fool."

"What are you talking about?" He kept smiling but took a step forward without giving up.

"Don't touch me." Jiang Li retreated as if avoiding something dirty.

She wanted to question, to scream, to smash everything to pieces, but in the end, she just looked at him with empty eyes, all her surging emotions suppressed under dead silence.

She wanted to question him, to lose her temper, to argue with him, but in the end, she just looked at him with those eyes and said nothing.

Yun Si looked at those eyes, feeling disappointed and helpless, but not angry.

"Sister, I know everything..."

He forced a smile, but his tone couldn't hide his panic. His heart was beating fast, and his fingers had to clench the corner of his clothes tightly to stop shaking.

Jiang Li frowned slightly: "So there is no child at all, right?"

"yes."

Jiang Li took a deep breath and suddenly smiled. Her eyes were misty, and there was a hint of despair in her tone: "Why do you always make me face reality when I want to believe you?"

Yes, she hoped even more than Yun Si that all this was true. She also longed to be treated sincerely, longing for a real relationship, not an elaborate deception.

Yun Si's Adam's apple rolled, but he couldn't say a word. He could only stare at her silently.

Tears finally filled his eyes and slid down his pale cheeks. Jiang Li bit his lower lip and raised his hand to slap him hard: "Explain!"

The crisp sound of the slap was particularly piercing in the silence. He tilted his head and said in a hoarse voice after a long while, "I'm sorry."

"Aren't you the best at talking? Don't you always have a lot of excuses? Just say it!" She completely broke down and her words were thrown out like sharp blades.

Yun Si's throat seemed to be strangled and he couldn't make a sound.

"Why did you lie to me?" Her voice was shaking.

After a long while, he finally managed to utter, "If it weren't for this child, how could my sister be willing to stay and agree to the marriage proposal..."

He didn't dare look her in the eye, but just lowered his head, looking as if he was admitting his mistake.

"How do you know? I can't!"

Yun Si suddenly looked up, his eyes brightening. She was clearly furious, and her eyes darkened again: "I was wrong to lie to you..."

Jiang Li took several deep breaths and said, "Since you have nothing to explain, then there is no need to explain."

She turned away and warned, "Don't follow me."

Yun Si watched the figure moving towards the door little by little, getting smaller and smaller.

Like the moon that is about to leave.

He suddenly rushed forward like a madman, hugged her tightly from behind, and his arms squeezed her so hard that it hurt: "Don't go... please..."

She was forced to stop, her voice cold, "The child is fake, but what about the gentleness, thoughtfulness, and understanding you've shown me these days? Was that just an act for me?"

He was silent, not knowing what to do.

She wouldn't believe anything he said at this moment.

"Sure enough, it's fake too." Jiang Li broke free from his embrace.

Yun Si was anxious and grabbed her again: "If you like, let's have a child, okay?! I swear, I will definitely love him! I will never lie to you!"

Jiang Li glared at him: "That's unreasonable!"

"I agree to whatever your sister wants to do!"

"Yun Si, you still don't understand. This isn't the child's fault at all!" Jiang Li's voice suddenly rose. "You lied to me for three whole months. You had so many opportunities to confess, but you chose to wait until I realized it before panicking... Is teasing me fun?"

"I'm sorry, I'll punish you however I want..."

"I have nothing to say to you!" Jiang Li, "Do you treat me as a real person? You say you love me, but you deceive me and lie to me! There's not even the most basic trust between us! Look, I'm the one acting like a madman now, and you only feel a little guilty! You've never truly understood me. You only think this is a game and don't know what true love is!"

"I love you... I really like you..." He repeated in vain, but found that his words were so pale.

"If you love me, have you ever thought about me? You insist on having your own way, and you are just roasting me on the fire." She was furious. "It's a joke to believe you."

Yun Si took a step forward and Jiang Li took a step back.

The two of them were in a stalemate.

She stared at him intently: "What are you planning to do now? What method have you devised to force me this time? Put a love spell on me, or something?"

A look of desolation flashed across Yun Si's eyes: "Is this how I look to you?"

"Yes! Despicable bastard!" She cursed, but a few tears fell from the corners of her eyes, "Let me go."

Yun Si suddenly hugged her waist and knelt down.

"Don't leave... I will die without you..."
